If politicians could figure how to tax cotozems for breathing air, they would.
Rhetorical Question: How can they justify taxing Medical marijuana when other prescription drugs are not taxed. Appears to be discriminatory.

If City attorney Carmen Trutanich has ruled that a tax on medical marijuana sales would be illegal, why do we have to make $3 mil to $5mil a year for the State of Ca illegally. Is California that desperate? .

This is absurd. We had the opportunity with this last election to pass Proposition 19 and make recreational use of cannabis both legal and taxable. Instead the voters of Los Angeles county were swayed by aggressive campaigning, in particular by the Los Angeles Times, and defeated Prop. 19. Now the city wants to tax medical cannabis when there are no taxes on any other kinds of prescripiton drugs? Sound like L.A. politicians want to eat their cake and have it too.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn<– remember this name is trying to justify this issue? Many cancer patients can barely afford their medications with our outrageous medical insurance that makes a profit on the sickness of others. Now they see another way to generate more money from those who already can't afford it.
And I agree, is penicillin taxed?

Let's legalize marijuana first and then talk about taxing it for those without a pot card.

Why would you tax pain medications? This is so hypocritical. When you tax Viagra and Cialis, then talk to me about taxing LIFE SAVING medications. All this pretense of compassion covers a willingness to gouge the disabled. Pathetic!
